Certification

Harness the True Value of VMware Technologies with Certifications

We validate the critical skills required to integrate and manage the technology that drives desired business outcomes. Covering multiple technology areas with levels for those new to the industry as well as experts in the field, VMware Certification Tracks give you the flexibility to find the path that suits your needs.

VMware Desktop and Mobility certifications are designed to gauge your level of skill designing, installing, and managing a VMware Horizon with View environment deployed on a VMware vSphere implementation.

Earning this certification validates your understanding of virtualization concepts and how they drive an enterprise’s digital agenda. It proves that you are familiar with the VMware products and technologies that support VMware Cloud Foundation and Cross-Cloud Architecture solutions including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and the vRealize Suite.

Do I have to take the exam within a certain time period after taking the qualifying course?

I have multiple accounts. How do I have them merged?

Send an email to certification@vmware.com asking for your accounts to be merged. List any possible email addresses you may have and indicate which account you would like to keep as your Master account. If you currently work for a Partner company, we highly recommend that you keep your Partner account as your Master so you will not lose your Partner privileges.

What if I need to reschedule my exam? What is the cancellation policy?

To cancel or reschedule an exam:

Login to your myLearn account.

Go to either "myEnrollments" or "Getting Started".

Click on "Manage Exams" next to "Single Sign-On to Pearson VUE".

Locate your exam, select either "Cancel" or "Reschedule".

You must cancel or reschedule your exam at least one business day prior to your exam appointment. Cancelling or rescheduling an exam LESS than 24 hours before your appointment will forfeit your exam fees. Exam fees are not refundable for no-shows, and vouchers cannot be replaced.

Can I apply for more than one VCDX Defense at the same time?

New Certification Versioning

What is VMware announcing?

The VMware Certification team is implementing a new certification name change, where the year will be used to identify when the certification was earned. This change is intended to make it easier for certification holders and potential employers to immediately identify how current a holder’s certification is. This also allows the certification holder to validate the currency of their certified knowledge. The new naming will eventually apply to all VMware certifications and select badges. For example:

What is the benefit to the VMware certification holder?

The new naming gives certification holders predictability, relevancy and clarity.

Predictability: Aligning VMware certification to the year versus the product version will support a consistent roadmap. Candidates can better plan and take more ownership of their VMware knowledge and expertise by having an awareness of when new updates and releases can be expected.

Relevancy: Naming by the year better communicates the currency of the individual’s VMware skill level and immediately identifies the relevancy of their certification in the marketplace.

Clarity: The new naming makes it easier to know which certification to earn when recertifying or upgrading to a different track, and eliminates confusion as to which certification is the most current.
